Title: | Pulmonary Homograft Endocarditis and Aortic Autograft Failure after Ross Procedure: A Double Stentless Bioprosthesis Approach | Authors: | SMEETS, Christophe BERTRAND, Philippe Spadaccio, Cristiano Beran, Maud Verhaert, David VANDERVOORT, Pieter GUTERMANN, Herbert DION, Robert |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | I C R PUBLISHERS | Source: | JOURNAL OF HEART VALVE DISEASE, 23 (3), p. 360-363 | Abstract: | The case is reported of a 38-year-old male patient with pulmonary homograft acute infective endocarditis and aortic root dilation that occurred 13 years after a Ross procedure for bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation. Aortic and pulmonary root replacements were performed, using a Freestyle stentless aortic root bioprosthesis in both cases, with excellent hemodynamics on postoperative echocardiography. In addition, preoperative systemic septic embolization had occurred despite an absence of left-sided endocarditis, presumably due to an intrapulmonary shunt. This case report demonstrates the feasibility of a double stentless bioprosthesis approach, and stresses the need to remain vigilant for septic embolization even in isolated right-sided endocarditis. | Notes: | [Smeets, Christophe J.
